THE Group 2 Alan Wood Plumbing And Heating Park Stakes always looked an intricate affair, involving seven-furlong horses just short of the highest class.

In the end it went to Sir Michael Stoute’s Mustashry, who led and came again inside the final furlong to beat Godolphin’s D’Bai by a neck. The resilient Oh This Is Us was only a short-head behind, followed by Dutch Connection, who ran his best race for a while in fourth, having briefly taken over from Mustashry before the furlong marker.
